Ya I got that..I was asking how it will work for classic batting

On Analog is X used to bunt or is it something else ??

Read above!

Correct..

[] = Power Swing
X = Normal Swing
O = Contact Swing

Contact Swing is new.

Thinking a slap hitting button works better here because I can't visualize how much of a difference you would see with contact/normal. Never know, contact could work like that if you're caught off guard by an outside pitch..

That's a good question.

If the face buttons are used to preselect swing type for analog hitting (Which I'm not sure I completely like...but that's another thing) then I would like to see pressing up on the R Stick be for bunting.

To me, it's much more fluid that way and can maybe give the user a better chance to pull back the bunt (something that's been a sore spot in The Show for me) by simply releasing the stick.

:wink::wink:

Contact (i.e. just trying to make contact, slapping at it, whatever)

I was not quoting you for my response, lol.

Anyway, there are 3 swing types as Enigma mentioned. X is a normal swing.

Yea but with right analog hitting being on, that would be circle(contact)...What would be the point of contact swing on X?

When I made that comment I was referring to how it will now work on classic :wink:

Regarding analog they could use X or triangle for bunting

Bunting is done with the right stick but I don't recall the actual action, sorry.

Those two remain unchanged from previous years from the understanding of what they do.

O = Contact Swing (slapping at the ball, trying to make contact to work a favorable count)

I will break down everything next week when I am out there. I don't recall off hand.

That's fine. I appreciate the input.

I just hope it's not pressing down on it (R3) because I hate that button...lol. If it's pulling/pushing it in a different direction, then I think that's the best way to go about it.

Hopefully that will eliminate (or at least improve) the horrible delay when pulling off of a bunt in this game.

You may hold a shoulder button while pressing up on the stick and direction you want to influence the bunt.

Not 100% sure as well, but you will find out soon enough!

That has been a pet peeve of mine as well. I always get rung up for a strike as I can never pull back in time it seems.

If it can be a button to give you more control over your batting, like with a man on first(polanco at the plate) you could better aim a hit in the gap between 1st-2nd...Then I love the idea. Just when I first seen contact, I was hoping it wasn't a fight off pitches button.

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Gameplay Video: Red Sox vs. Phillies

Triangle is the new Bunt I believe.

Thank you that's all I was trying to ask..Sorry about all the confusion

Re: MLB 11 The Show First Gameplay Video: Red Sox vs. Phillies

You are not the only one, it was the first thing I noticed, and looks like it is coming out of the hand and not "shot putted" like in the past.

Game looks astounding!

There we go, those were the words I was looking for. That was one thing I really hated in the past show games, and if that is fixed (which it is by the looks of it) this will make it even MORE realistic.
